But very perceptive is the popular 'if Sony only decided to throw their combined might behind (insert product category of your choice), they'd reset the bar of what to expect for it' missive. Nor does someone larger really want to tackle manufacturing their own digital transport - though Linn has in conjunction with Sony to turn exception to that rule. When a small UltraFi company dedicated to digital authors a new state-of-the-art contender, don't expect it annually upgraded or superseded by a better machine. What should be equally obvious by now? Brain power and R&D resources. The X-03, as we have already established, is an audio-only SACD/CD player.

The above reference to DVD of course only applies when the G25U is connected to a DVD player outfitted with a clock link terminal. This effectively reduces noise artifacts and allows the digital signal to actually sound more 'analog.' Your collection may astonish you once you begin to hear what you have been missing! In addition to user-selectable upconversion, the G25U includes proprietary Esoteric digital filtering. This truly upgrades the investment you have already made in DVDs and CDs. Resampling the digital data stream (up to 32 times), allows for RedBook CDs and DVDs to sound better. This often adds extraordinary ambience, imaging and clarity to a digital audio signal. A more accurate master clock results in higher accuracy of reading and sending digital data. Most conventional CD/DVD devices are accurate to +/- 10-50 ppm). This master clock is accurate to +/- 1ppm. As a master clock generator, it can process word clock signals by its internal, high precision crystal oscillator. As a D/D converter, it can convert digital audio frequencies up to 192kHz, improving sound quality by oversampling and retiming a digital audio data stream. From the propaganda sheet for that device, we learn that 'the G-25U is a hybrid digital upconverter and master clock generator.

Think of that as your next $3,000 upgrade, the place the new Esoteric G25U master clock generator and digital upconverter will occupy. The button next to the power mains reads Clock Mode. The X-03's front panel hints at one unusual feature. This review page is supported in part by the sponsor whose ad is displayed above
